What are the high-resilience and comfortable finishing agent for fabrics?

Mercerized cotton fabric

The mercerized cotton fabric is to first pass the yarn through singeing to remove the miscellaneous hair on the surface of the thread, and then make the yarn have tension in the high temperature alkali. Well, the brighter and smoother the yarn. It not only maintains the characteristics of cotton's breathability, softness and strong moisture absorption, but also has the smooth and bright characteristics of silk.

Advantages and disadvantages of mercerized cotton

1. Although mercerized cotton is smooth, soft and has a good texture, it is easy to shrink and difficult to take care of.

2. The mercerized cotton towel made of mercerized cotton yarn is thicker than pure cotton and other fiber products, but it is relatively durable, easy to dry, and will not grow spots after long-term use.

3. Mercerized cotton has poor shape retention, and it is easy to deform and become larger when worn for a long time. It needs to be watered to restore the original tightness and shape.

4. Lack of elasticity, not stiff enough, easy to wrinkle

5, the color fastness is not high, wearing for a period of time or excessive sun exposure, it is easy to cause fading

6. Afraid of acid. If vinegar and other acidic substances are used in daily wear, they should be washed in time to avoid damage to clothes.

Improvement of the shortcomings of mercerized cotton

The resilience improvement of mercerized cotton can be improved by resilience silicone oil and resilience silicone resin respectively

1) High resilience mercerized silicone oil: It is a special modified organosiloxane polymer. It is suitable for elastic, mercerizing and toning finishing of high-end fabrics such as cotton, rayon, tencel, brocade and modal. At the same time, it has excellent high stability, high wrinkle recovery, anti-curling, easy to cut, hydrophilic and washable. Provides excellent skin-to-skin comfort to fabrics.

2) High resilience silicone resin:

It is a new type of epoxy, polyether and resin cross-linked polymer silicone with special structure. The spider web-like molecular structure and large molecular weight can give the fabric a soft, slippery, skinny, plump and thick delicate hand, and has good touch and washability. At the same time, it has excellent high stability, high wrinkle recovery, anti-curling, easy to cut, hydrophilic and washable.

It is suitable for the rebound finishing of most cotton textiles, especially for the rebound feel processing of high-end fabrics such as mercerized cotton, nylon ammonia, viscose, cotton-like Tencel, and silk. ‍
